Gold closed in New York Saturday a 100,. Wbata German Captain round, The captain of a German steamer, just arrived at Hong Kong, reports a singular condition of things in the inland of New Britain in the South seas. He found the whole of the northeast coast enveloped in dense smoke, and he experienced great difficulty in proceeding up the channel between it and New Ireland, bb fields of pumice stone, several feet in thickness, covered the surfsce of the water. On February 9 he reached Makada, Duke of York group, and found that three craters had broken out in the ifew Britain peninsula, from which dense masses of pumice Btone were continually being thrown np. The passage between Duke of York Island and Blanche Bay had been completely closed by a compact field of pnmice stone, a boat five feet in thickness, acoording to the statement of the captain to a Hong Kong paper. A tidal wave swept over Blanche bay on February 10, and soon afterward a new island appeared, about threequarlere of a mile iu diameter. This island is Bituated to the south of Henderson island, and where it now is no bottom was previously obtained at 17 fathoms. It ia probable that other altera tions have occurred which could not be observed at the time, owing to the masses of pumice stone. The captain of the . vessel mentioned further says that the ' water in Blanche bay was scalding hot for two days, and that immense quantities of boiled fish and turtle were thrown on shore and eagerly devoured by the natives, who were starving in consequence of the unusual dryness of the season.

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATS JOURNAL MUNICIPAL MURDER. Conflict Between City Author! ties in St. Louis. Metropolitan Police and Marshals Coma in Contact. The Natural Result of an Old PO' litloal Dispute. Tiro Men Killed and Xbree Wounded. The Mayor of the City Narrowly Escapes With His Life. St. Louis. June 30. The stale of chronic disturbance, which has prevailed in JStst bt. .Louis for months past, oul minated this afternoon in a fight between a part of the Metropolitan Police foroe d the uuy Marshals, organize by Mayor Bowman. It appears that last January the Metropolitans, under Chief nenshaw, toot lorciole possession or one city engine bouse and prison cells, which had been used, as polios headquarters, and although Mayor tiowen Has repeated It demanded that It be vacated by them and returned to the city, his demands nave been refused. About noon to-aay City Marshal Walsh learned that there wen but three of the Metropolitan force in the engine house, and thinking it would be easy to oapture it, mustered his deputies at bis own headquarters and a little more . than a block away, and made a dash for it.' He was quickly seen, however, and the occupants of the engine house, Officers Wallace ana Uleyre and Turnkey Chap man barred the door, hastened up stairs, and the two first named appeared at the windows armed with Springfield rifles. Walsh and his men rushed on, armed with clubs and revolvers, and found .Officer Slock near the door of the engine bouse, whom they assaulted with clubs, knocked down, and three pistol shots said o have been bred at him, one of which wounded him in the head. Wallace and Gleyre then called upon the crowd to disperse, when more shots were fired by the Marshals, i' r . ; Wallace and Gleyre then shot, into the crowd, and 'Deputy Marshals Newell and O'Connor fell dead, and James Doyle was wounded. The Marshals then retired, taking with them their dead. Mayor .Bowman, in the meantime, ap peared on the ground, and he says narrowly escaped, as one of the men in the engine ' house, he claims, took deliberate aim at him and fired, but by a quick jump sideways he avoided being hit, the ball entering the ground only a few feet from where he had stood. While the fight wan progn siinp.the alarm bell on the engine house was rung and Metropolitans hastened to tneir headquar ters from all directions, but the Marshals ad retired ud nolhiuu further was done. Mayor Bowman telegraphed to Belleville, the county seat, for Sheriff Weber and the County Coroner, who arrived this after noon. Weber went to headquarters of the Metropolitans and arrested Officers Wal lace and Gleyre, and the Coroner will bold an inquest on the dead to-morrow. lhe circumstances which led to this unfortunate affair are numerous and cover much time and many events, dating as far back as 1807, when the Metropolitan law was pasBed Dy tne Legislature. This law has been pronounc ed unconstitutional several times by the Hupreme Court, but the force has man aged to exist, it has been totally ignored by Mayor Bowman, who organized a force of deputy marshals under the city ordinance, and the result has been two distinct forces of police, which have been at swords points for months past, and conflicts more or less serious have been almost of daily occurrence. There are sIbo two political factions in the oity, called the Bowman and anti-Bowman, which are very bitter and vindictive and stop at no means to damage each other. Mayor .Bowman says: Jiven granting the legality of the existence of the Metropolitan Police Commissioners and force, the original Legislature specially provides that tbey Bball be entirely separate and distinct from the city of East St. Louis, and shall not use or occupy any of the city's property; therefore, he or his omcers had a right to dispossess them of the engine house. Further trouble was apprehended to night, but up to the present writing all is quiet on the other side of the river, and the probabilities are that no further violence will occur. WASHINGTON.

A Boston special to the Cincinnati En quirer of yesterday says: Dr. Carver, the California rifleman, astonished tbe natives here with his remarkable shooting to-uay ai jieacon rarlf, The perform ance consisted of shooting glass balls, thrown high in the air, with a Winchester repeating rifle. At the first trial 129 balls was successively thrown a distance of fifty feet, and as they fell the doctor missed only nine. In this feat he need four rifles. In one hundred conseontive snots he broke mnstysix balls. k Follow, ing this came coin, shooting pieces of va rious denominations, from 'pennies to quarters, wnieh were thrown in the air. In this the marksman was wonderfully successiui, nitung twenty out of twenty- nine, several of the coins that had been hit were collected, one of which had been ticked slightly on the edge, having been caught in the marksman's hand, and when examined were found to have been penetrated by bullets, The doctor va ried his exercises with an occasional trial at giant torpedoes, in which he cracked nearly every one thrown np. A pencil thrown into the air ctme down in two. Balls were thrown at the doctor from across the fence, and without any great exertion he managed to break nearly every one.

The King went to pay a farewell visit to the corpse, and he was so overcome with his grief that it was found necessary at length to use eome little force to remove him. The Potter Investigation. The Cincinnati Commercial of yesterday contains the following summary of the testimony taken before the Investigating committee Saturday : The Potter Saturday matinee was highly interesting and entertaining. Nearly all the leading stars were in the cast. Mrs. Jenks was the favorite, her medley being superior to those previously gives. Sam. P. Butler, of Cincinnati, the Washington correspondent oi ine Baltimore uazette, acted bis part well, and showed his ability to make much of lit tle, ana nau it not seen that the programme was lengthy, he would hare been called upon to repeat his version of an interview with Mrs. Jenks, in which Bbe was represented as admitting that she bad in her possession the Sherman letter. Then Billee Chandler entertained the audience with a very racy account of his tray- els in Florida, correspondence with Grant and other statesmen in the North; conference with visiting statesmen in the South in the interest of a fair count; what General Garfield told him about the Wormley conference; how Stanley Matthews had urged him to use his influence to prevent President Grant from recognizing the Packard Government, which was the first tangible evidence Billee had of the "subsequent dishonor which was to come;" the showing Matthews made as to bow Hayes could consistently recogoizethe Nich-olls and Hampton Governments (Matthews having looked into the matter, and found that there would be no difficulty, because the Hayes Electors and Packard had their titles from different sources), and windiog up with a list of names of Florida worthies whom Billee had endorsed for office, some of whom had been provided for. Chandler's narratlre was interrupted several times by Ben. Butler, in order that the latter might get in a fling at Minister Kas-son, and get the laugh on an old enemy, by making a public announcement that it is his purpose to prove that Charles Foster's patriotlo speech in the National Bear Oar- den, announcing that as President Mr, Hayes would treat States as States and not as provinces, was not original, with Foster, bat' was written by a Southern gentlemanReturning Board Anderson gave tome new pisses of tbe old play of "Innocence Triumphant," wherein it ft shown that nobody knew or had the slightest knowledge about low the election in Louisiana was going tntil the final result was reached by the Bsnrning Board, ten days after that body fist met and began the work of canvassing the votes, because, although the eyes ot the country were turned in that direction! and everybody was in feverish ex-cltemett to know, he and his colleagues never Ven tried to guess what wonld be the effect ol throwing out certain votes. The Chairman, having; been in private conference with Mrs. Jenks, came before the curtain tod announced that Mrs. jenks had consented to sdd to the already voluminous testimonials of her briirhtneas the drafts of several spiightly letters written by her in answer to the comedian, Jim u. Anderson, the contents of which would be referred for future coniideration. The whole performance concluded with a side-splitting farce by the little giant of Ala chua county, Dennis, mi recitations were so amminj and highly spiced with jocular ity mat ue audience, wnicn naa previously oeen aimcst tuneitea, were lotn to allow him to leive the stage. He had been told by President Haves that he was one of the few men who this Administration could afford to take care of, and was asked by His Excellency what he (Dennis) wanted, which was so ejtrer and unexpected that it took Donis's breath. But he afterward recovered respiration and responded that he wanted to be an Auditor in the Treasury Department, because bis appointment to a Federal office would be such a recognition as would lave the moral effect to stare off, I .. uvv nvMiti v.a-vuw Lun uruwn u.jiiuh uiroaienea iniait mm nnon Denainir indict ments bastd on alleged offenses against the local laws of Florida. . The President thereupon wrote on the back of his visiting card a note to Secretary Sherman, savins; that he particularly desired the appoiotment of Den- nis to an Aaditorshin or other (rood place. because he was worthy. That didn't ac complish the nuroose. So subseouentlv Mr. Hayes wrote a note to Mr. Sherman stating that he was reliably assured that Mr. Dennis would make a capable Hpeciul Agent, and that V'l especially desire that his claims may have your early consideration." Keen that didn't bring satisfactory fruit. The Assistant Rami... U.n..mUL. witLA t- aan..-a - good place as custodian of plates and dies in the Treasury vaults, and asked the appointment of Dennis as a personal favor. The President wanted Dennis to have the place, but Secrfltarv Hherman wantAti it for a nni. sonal friend, and as interjected by Ben. sutler Sherman neat, tor he got his man in the. place. Dennis here remarked coollv. though with evident sympathy for the Pres ident, that ho was always satisfied (hat if tne president bad bad any Influence, he (Dennis) would have gotten a good place. He wanted to work, and did not care fur the sinecure at seven dollars a day, which they gave him, in which, as he stated it, he had nothing to do; didn't go often, about once a month, and tiring of loafing about Wash ington, be told McUornnck that if "I am to draw my pay I will not lose the capacity to do so if I go up to Massachusetts to visit my family." The hint was taken. He was granted leave of absence for one month, but tayed away nearly four months, during which time he was pretty independent, did as he pleased and didn't ezpect any pay, but wnen ne returned ne tound ne could get it, so bo took two months' pay. Dennis's de livery was reliBhed and kept the audienoe in t high state of mirth, because his descrio- tions of ups and downs and ins and outs were illustrative of 80 many others known to each person in the room, and also of fla grant violation of civil service rnles. General floyes will leave tor Uhio on Monday. He rrgards his vindication as absolute and complete. Tbe only question now is whether the committee wilL Jiive Jbim the seem to warrant. A good deal of disgust is expressed by the Democrats about tbe failure of the investi gators to produce the original Sherman letter, about which there has been so much boasting, and it is now believed that con- sideraDlo systematic lying has been done. houmson to shbbman. The draft of a letter has been prepared by Mr. Morriion. of the Potter committee, in answer to Secretary Sherman, requesting to have suopenaed Irom Louisiana one Hundred witnesses expected to give material testimony touching the freedom ot the election and the murder and intimidation of voters in all of East and parts of West Feliciana parishes. Mr. Morrison saya in the course ot his reply Whatever of accusation is made Busiest you in the resolutions of the House of Representatives under which this committee is acting, rests, so far as any testimony ueard shows, upon the statement and 'on mat to innuence Webster and J as. .n-derson in their official acts you mu. . iem verbal promises und wrote a letter to them giving them assurances and promises of reward. If the committee cor rectly understood your statement before, if you denied writing such a letter and making such promises, however material tbe evidence of the witnesses you ask to have summoned may be to the fact of the number of persons killed, threatened, driven from office or otherwise intimidated, as vou assure the committee it is, it can in no way affect you personally. If the committee has correctly understood you to deny tne allegation that you wrote tbe letter and gave these promises and assurances, such allegation will be neither established nor disproved by the evidence of the number of men killed in tbe Feliciana parishes, whether killed because they had stolen the property of others or be-cause others sought to steal their votes. The committee is therefore constrained for the present respectfully to decline compliance with yonr request to have subpenaed aa witnesses the several persons named by you, all of whom have testified once, some of them twice, and others three times on the same subject, and their testimony is preserved and now accessible to all in the records of Congress. SHSRtflK TO POTTEB. Secretary Sherman has addressed to Mr. Potter a reply to the draft of the letter pre pared by Mr. Morrison, in answer to a request of the Secretary to subpena one hundred witnesses. Secretary Sherman says: The resolution under which the committee is acting accuses me of inducing certain election officers of Louisiana to falsify and fraudulently represent and protest the election of November 7, 1876, In East Feliciana and part of WeBt Feliciana as not free and lair, ana tne protest to me contrary iaiseano fraudulent. I ask that witnesses (which the Secretary names) be subpentd and examined at such times and places aB you may order. The Secretary refers to their former testimony to show there were crimes proved of whipping, threats, raids by armed Democrats, killing, burning houses, shooting, in timidation, naDging, driving irom nome, expulsion from office, shooting sheriffs, violence at the noils, property taken away. etc. The Secretary aaaa me lonowing statement, oi which he says the records of Congress authorize him to state ss the combined reBult of the tettimony will be of his witnesses named : 1. The prevalence In the parishes above named, as well as In those adjoining, there for and at the same time oi said election, especially at the time and places of registration ot voters preparatory to said election, of a thoroughly organised and executed system of intimidation of Republican voters by Democrats. This intimidation, enforced by means of daily and nightly raids, by armed bodies of men. unon the persons and proper ty of Republicans, Included in tho30 acts of violence the killing, wonnding and whipping of Republicans, breaking into and burning houses and stores, and otber out rases.. by means of which such a state of terror was inaugurated in these and ad joining parishes that leading Republicans in tuese localities were lorced to leave ineir homes and were prevented from organizing for the campaign, and the rank and file of the party utterly disheartened, a large majority of them forced against their wish either to desist from voting or to vote the Democratic ticket; that this intimidation was carried to such an extent that the large GREAT RUNNING MEETING OF THE LOUISVILLE JOCKEY CLUB, TO BE HELD AT LOUISVILLE, On TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY, JULY 2, 3 and 4, 1878.

Republican majorities which had appeared at every election after the cloBe of the war and prior to tbe election of 1876, were thereby suddonly convertrd into large Democratic majorities, so that in eome of the precincts and in one of the parishes, to-wit : East Feliciana, not a sinule Republican vote was polled. I. I expect or Ibis testimony to show that tbs witnesses of both parties concede the ex istence of this violence and intimidation, though the Democrats say it was, not political in its origin. 3. I expeot br thiB testimony to show and establish the claim that it wss political, directed by Democrats auainst Republicans, as such; that this organised violence was so timed as to precede and cover the time of registration, and to precede the elections, and it ceased sfter the election, and that' the victims of violence and intimidation were always active, leading Republicans, and never Democrats. 4. I expect by this testimony toshow, and will show, as I am authorized to state by the records of Uongress, amongst olbers tbe following list of enormities committed in the following parishes, these for political ends above stated, namely : East Feliciana killed 5, wounded 3, hung 3, whipped 24, shot at4, expelled from office 8, driven from home by threats of violence 5, burned out 2, threats to individual persons .11, In West Feliciana killed 25, wounded 1, hung 3, whipped 7, shot at 7, expelled from office, etc., driven from home 11, by threats of violence 4, threats to individuals 16, burned out 13. Secretary Sherman, in giving the aboye letter for publication, ssyB he refused to give to the preas his offer of testimony, made June 6'h, uutil the committee should act upon it. Alter long delay, without notice to him, a paper is published this morning purporting to be the proposed reply of the committee to his formal request, in which he is denied tbe right to prove the very gist of the whole matter, whether or not there was a free and fair election in East and West Feliciana, and the sub-committee Is now in Louisiana act ing upon this construction. The pretense that he (the Secretary) cannot prove there was not a free and fair election because he denied the writing of the imputed letter is frivolous to the last degree. Whether he wrote a letter or not, the real thing that com mittee wants to know, be says, is whether there was actual fraud and violence in theae two parishes to justify the Returning Board in what they did. If so, that is the end of the inquiry; if not, and if the action in Louisiana was uuiawiui anu improper, tnen it .may become material to ascertain who participated.

The sub-committee met at the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, Saturday.Ex-Governor Packard was called to the stand. In answer to questions the witness Baid: The Returning Board met at the time prescribed by law; was not present at any of the ses sions, open or secret; bad no conversation then nor since with memsers of the Board as to matters under consideration; have no knowledge of their laborB, other than such as wss published; their returnB were the only means of information I had; the returns of the Board gave the State to Hayes and myself; not to my knowledge was any other result reached by them than that published; they declared the result about December 5; I was inaugurated Governor January 8; was in office till the 25th of April; the Hayes Commission arrived early in April: my ma jority as shown by the Returning Board, was somewnac less tnan ine nigneBt nayes Elector, and lower than the majority for the lowest Elector. Witness said the files of the Republican would give all the data required as to the promulgation of returns; from returnB made the witness deemed himself the legally elected Governor of Louisiana; there was no Suestion about that; the returns made by the oard went before the Legislature through the Secretary of State, as required by the Oonstitutiot; the two houses met, canvassed the vote, and declared me elected; that Legislature consisted of a quorum of both bouses that day, sixtyeight members of the House and nineteen members of the Senate being present. In my opinion, my title to the Governor ship of Louisiana is as good as the title of Mr. Hayes to the Presidency. 1 consider them both good, and one is as good as the other. I received a declaration of my election from the Legislature. Mr. Hayes enjoys his title. 1 am aware that I am not acting as the Governor of this State and as I am entitled to be. Mr, HayeB's title rests on the vote of Louisiana. I am entitled to be Governor. The witness said he believed the armed mob was under Governor Nicholls; they were called militia, 1 believe; there was Interference on tbeir part with the courts; don't know whether he had any part in it or not. However, on the 9th of January the Supreme Court room was taken possession of, and during their presence five gentlemen wete installed as a Supreme Court of the State, and they ere to-day the Supreme Court of Louisiana, holding their positions by ;appointment from Governor Nicholls, who assumed, iu making the appointments, that the term of the old Court had expired. The Supreme Court recognized Nicholls, as did the Sheriff, who enforced the authority of that Court. At that time I was under tbe impression that the Harlan-MacVeagh Commission was advising my supporters to join the Nicholls Legislature. I had no means of information of the improper methods used by the Commission in regard to the membership of the Legislature, save by general rumor. I had the Impression that the Commission came here to break up the Packard Legislature. The effect of their presence ia plain to be seen. I have no impression that- Mr. Hayes sent the Commission here for the purpose above named. I cannot judge tbe President's Intentions or wishes, and cannot express an opinion; know of no threats or efforts of intimidation on the part of the Commission to obtain the object of their visit; have no recollection ot having been approached by any member of the Commission requesting that I withdraw from mv office; I do not think my members deserted me be cause ot any beliel in a detect iu my title, but I have no means of knowing the actual cause of the desertion. I received a dispatch from Secretary U. U.Bmnen, dated 11 arch 1, concerning a resolution of President Grant, that he could no longer allow the United States troops to support candidates for State offices. Kecelved a letter from lion. Stan ley Matthews repeating the same assertion, dated Marcs lo. I believe It i bad been ai lowed troops I could have maintained my position. Had tbe President acknowledged my title I have no doubt tbe opposition to me would nave eeasea. Compost for Gardens. In China, vegetable matter of every available kind is collected during the summer, and mixed with peat earth, and GREAT BURNING RACE BETWEEN Trie $10,000! such other refuse as may be at hand. When entirely dry, it Ib fired and allowed to burn slowly until consumed. It is then like finely powdered earth. This material is used solely aB a fertilizer for the seed when planted, and causes extraordinary vigor to the young plants. Although we do not recommend the tireless labor used by the Chinese in their cultivation, for the reason that labor is not cheap enough with us, nevertheless gardeners and florists, and all those who are obltaed to use apeoial fertilizers in till age, may take a lesson here in thus preparing a cheap compost for various uses on the garden and farm. if this asb ba mixed with ordinary compost it will be found to add greatly to Us value. It may also be used mixed with any of the commercial fertilizers, or used by Itself in the drill with seed, or about plants when transplanted. It will oause immediate growth and hold the plant vigorous until the roots can gain foothold. The owner of any suburban home ought not to find it difficult thus to make a two horse wagon- load yearly, and tbe gardener and florist will only be limited in the quantity he makes by that of the material al hand. i JEWISH PROGRESS. ' V Ibe Jews as Bankers, Mnslclans anft-Edltors 's ue slew Jerusalem on the . Danube. - t ,.i "; Philadelphia Press. ' In finance the Jews have from time im memorial been distinguished for their sue i. lhe greBteBt fortune of modern times is that accumulated by the Kotche- cbilds. They are friends alike of monarchies and republics, and they are the baukein of the pope as well as his adver saries. .Little more than a century old, this family of bankers have attained such influence by their wealth that they may be said to rule the fortunes of the leading continental states. They supply the means that set armies in the field, Without their aid it would be difficult to carry on offensive or defensive war. Their wonderful success is due not to any striking qualities ol intellect, bnt to good judgment, to economical habits, to the preservation of their capital by intermarriages among themselves, and to a peculiar genius for mon- political honors, though they have not refused those that have been proffered them in England. For services rendered in critical timeB, when continental sov-erigne have been in distress for money, they have been knighted and decorated. They give generously of their moans to public charities of all kinds, and they are the firat to come to the relief of the communities which have suffered great loeaes by fire, pestilence, war and earthquakes. Personally they are unostentatious in their manners, though they live in an elegant splendor consonant with their Vealth. With the rise of the Kotchschilds, other rieh Jewish bankers have appeared in the European capitals. They have founded synsgogues, colleges and hospitals, and have powerfully contributed to the rehabilitation of the Hebrew race, and to its emancipation from the legal and political disabilities under which it has suffered for so many centuries, we may almost jsay from the fall of the Roman empire. At this time, the Jews are one of the most enterprising and cultured races. Although the lower classes in some countries are poor and degraded, it ia more beoauae of hostile legislation and popular prejudices than from any innate defects. Wherever the Jews enjoy political equality, it is astonishing to see with what rapidity they rise to a better state, and how they come into the foreground. In music, some of the most celebrated composers of Germany sre Jews, In the drama, literature and science, in the comparatively short period of their emancipation, they have done wonders. A too rigid adherence to the traditions of the paBt retards a progress that otherwise would be yet more striking. Of late years Jewish journalists in London, Paris, Vienna and elsewhere have formed and directed public opinion, while a born Jew now guides the destinies of England, The flexibility of the Jewish mind is remarkable, It seems to adapt itself to every calling and profession, vindicating, to a degree, the ancient claim of the Hebrew race to extraordinary intellectual gifts, and to superiority. "There is," says the New York Times, "no city in all Europe, or, indeed, in Asia or America, which contains so many and bo influential Jews as Vienna. They are said to number not far from 200,000, and they hold many of the most important places in the community. In commerce they are very powerful, the trade of the oapi-tal being largely in their hands. Many of the leading firms are Jewish, and the banking business ib almost entirely controlled by Jews. The preBS is for the most part written, managed, and directed by Jews; many of the musicians (Vienna is nothing if not musical) are Jews; the restaurants and inns are kept by Jews; the richest men are Jews, and the prettiest women are Jewesses. Go where you will to the Ringstrassee,'the opera, the theater, the Volkegarten, the Prater, the Belvedere, Schonbrunn,the beer gardens, the picture galleries, the treasury, up the tower of St. Stephen's, the arsenal, you will surely find Jews; and, as a rule, they are very intelligent, polite and pleasant. Talk of the New Jerusalem, it has already been discovered, founded and enjoyed on the banks of the Danube. Vienna is one of the finest and most delightful capitals in the world, and owes much of what it is and what it yields to pleasure and prosperity, to its large Hebrew element." When the Jews shall enjoy tbe same liberty in the East that they do in England and the United States, they will li-e to a better order of existence and will promote its prcsperity and regeneration by their industry and enterprise. Unfortunately, however, there are religious and political feuds in the East thousands of years old that must first be obliterated before this can take place. The Fashions tow Children.

Already little women are fastidiouB about the matching of their sashes and hat trimmings,even to a shade, with which mothers should not quarrel, for it is an evidence of an educated taste, developing gradually into things of great--ter import. The dainty princesse dress for little ones up to twelve years takes on the semblance of a cut-away jacket, the jacket fronts only being added, while the back remains plain. TheBe are made up of fine seaside wool bunting, and of the plain French bunting, which is very much stronger. Modistes recommend this bunting very highly, but to prevent shrinking, it muat be dampened and pressed before it is cut. The greater number of these dresses are made with a kilt plaiting eet in the back, while the front is plain princesse, trimmed with bands of embroidered stuff or Bilk, This style simply requires a yoke instead of a jacket. Another has the entire front overlaid with plait-ings and plastrons of silk, and shell plait-ings on the bottom edge. Gray and all' shades of brown debege, flannel and wool bourette are made up for traveling and school costumes for older girls in the favorite cutaway jacket and kilt skirt. The trimming is simply many rows of worsted braid, but there are others trimmed more fancifully with silk bias bands or wide, handsome braids, The pretty percale, Scotch gingham, fine zephyr cloths and lawn dresses are mostly made with square-yoked, plaited basque and a wide turn-over collar, The overskirt has a plain apron front, and the underskirt is finished with a plaited flounce. Simulated overskirts are more suitable for washing fabrics. A great deal of Hamburg edging is used upon these dresses, all white,or else the new kind, with colored scollops and flowers embroidered on the white. Pique is not so fashionable for the little people as the dainty colored suits, and these lovely colors also find their way into the wardrobes of the very little ones, who have hitherto been confined to white. Such fabrics bb the fine lephyrs are made up, just like the white slips, plaited and bordered with Hamburg, and box-plaited from the throat down both front and back. Stockings are still worn high and secured with a slocking suspender, The colors correspond with the sash, bows, ribbonB and general ornamentation, The coats and Ulsters for street wear are long and of the pardessns shape, with quaint little double and triple collars and capes. Babies' imported robes are only one yard long, and their caps of the latest fashion are silk net, lined with silk matching the net, of strawberry-red, blue or pink. There are no other changes chronicled for babies' wardrobes,

Gold closed in New York Saturday a 100,. Wbata German Captain round, The captain of a German steamer, just arrived at Hong Kong, reports a singular condition of things in the inland of New Britain in the South seas. He found the whole of the northeast coast enveloped in dense smoke, and he experienced great difficulty in proceeding up the channel between it and New Ireland, bb fields of pumice stone, several feet in thickness, covered the surfsce of the water. On February 9 he reached Makada, Duke of York group, and found that three craters had broken out in the ifew Britain peninsula, from which dense masses of pumice Btone were continually being thrown np. The passage between Duke of York Island and Blanche Bay had been completely closed by a compact field of pnmice stone, a boat five feet in thickness, acoording to the statement of the captain to a Hong Kong paper. A tidal wave swept over Blanche bay on February 10, and soon afterward a new island appeared, about threequarlere of a mile iu diameter. This island is Bituated to the south of Henderson island, and where it now is no bottom was previously obtained at 17 fathoms. It ia probable that other altera tions have occurred which could not be observed at the time, owing to the masses of pumice stone. The captain of the . vessel mentioned further says that the ' water in Blanche bay was scalding hot for two days, and that immense quantities of boiled fish and turtle were thrown on shore and eagerly devoured by the natives, who were starving in consequence of the unusual dryness of the season.

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATS JOURNAL MUNICIPAL MURDER. Conflict Between City Author! ties in St. Louis. Metropolitan Police and Marshals Coma in Contact. The Natural Result of an Old PO' litloal Dispute. Tiro Men Killed and Xbree Wounded. The Mayor of the City Narrowly Escapes With His Life. St. Louis. June 30. The stale of chronic disturbance, which has prevailed in JStst bt. .Louis for months past, oul minated this afternoon in a fight between a part of the Metropolitan Police foroe d the uuy Marshals, organize by Mayor Bowman. It appears that last January the Metropolitans, under Chief nenshaw, toot lorciole possession or one city engine bouse and prison cells, which had been used, as polios headquarters, and although Mayor tiowen Has repeated It demanded that It be vacated by them and returned to the city, his demands nave been refused. About noon to-aay City Marshal Walsh learned that there wen but three of the Metropolitan force in the engine house, and thinking it would be easy to oapture it, mustered his deputies at bis own headquarters and a little more . than a block away, and made a dash for it.' He was quickly seen, however, and the occupants of the engine house, Officers Wallace ana Uleyre and Turnkey Chap man barred the door, hastened up stairs, and the two first named appeared at the windows armed with Springfield rifles. Walsh and his men rushed on, armed with clubs and revolvers, and found .Officer Slock near the door of the engine bouse, whom they assaulted with clubs, knocked down, and three pistol shots said o have been bred at him, one of which wounded him in the head. Wallace and Gleyre then called upon the crowd to disperse, when more shots were fired by the Marshals, i' r . ; Wallace and Gleyre then shot, into the crowd, and 'Deputy Marshals Newell and O'Connor fell dead, and James Doyle was wounded. The Marshals then retired, taking with them their dead. Mayor .Bowman, in the meantime, ap peared on the ground, and he says narrowly escaped, as one of the men in the engine ' house, he claims, took deliberate aim at him and fired, but by a quick jump sideways he avoided being hit, the ball entering the ground only a few feet from where he had stood. While the fight wan progn siinp.the alarm bell on the engine house was rung and Metropolitans hastened to tneir headquar ters from all directions, but the Marshals ad retired ud nolhiuu further was done. Mayor Bowman telegraphed to Belleville, the county seat, for Sheriff Weber and the County Coroner, who arrived this after noon. Weber went to headquarters of the Metropolitans and arrested Officers Wal lace and Gleyre, and the Coroner will bold an inquest on the dead to-morrow. lhe circumstances which led to this unfortunate affair are numerous and cover much time and many events, dating as far back as 1807, when the Metropolitan law was pasBed Dy tne Legislature. This law has been pronounc ed unconstitutional several times by the Hupreme Court, but the force has man aged to exist, it has been totally ignored by Mayor Bowman, who organized a force of deputy marshals under the city ordinance, and the result has been two distinct forces of police, which have been at swords points for months past, and conflicts more or less serious have been almost of daily occurrence. There are sIbo two political factions in the oity, called the Bowman and anti-Bowman, which are very bitter and vindictive and stop at no means to damage each other. Mayor .Bowman says: Jiven granting the legality of the existence of the Metropolitan Police Commissioners and force, the original Legislature specially provides that tbey Bball be entirely separate and distinct from the city of East St. Louis, and shall not use or occupy any of the city's property; therefore, he or his omcers had a right to dispossess them of the engine house. Further trouble was apprehended to night, but up to the present writing all is quiet on the other side of the river, and the probabilities are that no further violence will occur. WASHINGTON.

The Cincinnati Commercial of yesterday contains the following summary of the testimony taken before the Investigating committee Saturday : The Potter Saturday matinee was highly interesting and entertaining. Nearly all the leading stars were in the cast. Mrs. Jenks was the favorite, her medley being superior to those previously gives. Sam. P. Butler, of Cincinnati, the Washington correspondent oi ine Baltimore uazette, acted bis part well, and showed his ability to make much of lit tle, ana nau it not seen that the programme was lengthy, he would hare been called upon to repeat his version of an interview with Mrs. Jenks, in which Bbe was represented as admitting that she bad in her possession the Sherman letter. Then Billee Chandler entertained the audience with a very racy account of his tray- els in Florida, correspondence with Grant and other statesmen in the North; conference with visiting statesmen in the South in the interest of a fair count; what General Garfield told him about the Wormley conference; how Stanley Matthews had urged him to use his influence to prevent President Grant from recognizing the Packard Government, which was the first tangible evidence Billee had of the "subsequent dishonor which was to come;" the showing Matthews made as to bow Hayes could consistently recogoizethe Nich-olls and Hampton Governments (Matthews having looked into the matter, and found that there would be no difficulty, because the Hayes Electors and Packard had their titles from different sources), and windiog up with a list of names of Florida worthies whom Billee had endorsed for office, some of whom had been provided for. Chandler's narratlre was interrupted several times by Ben. Butler, in order that the latter might get in a fling at Minister Kas-son, and get the laugh on an old enemy, by making a public announcement that it is his purpose to prove that Charles Foster's patriotlo speech in the National Bear Oar- den, announcing that as President Mr, Hayes would treat States as States and not as provinces, was not original, with Foster, bat' was written by a Southern gentlemanReturning Board Anderson gave tome new pisses of tbe old play of "Innocence Triumphant," wherein it ft shown that nobody knew or had the slightest knowledge about low the election in Louisiana was going tntil the final result was reached by the Bsnrning Board, ten days after that body fist met and began the work of canvassing the votes, because, although the eyes ot the country were turned in that direction! and everybody was in feverish ex-cltemett to know, he and his colleagues never Ven tried to guess what wonld be the effect ol throwing out certain votes. The Chairman, having; been in private conference with Mrs. Jenks, came before the curtain tod announced that Mrs. jenks had consented to sdd to the already voluminous testimonials of her briirhtneas the drafts of several spiightly letters written by her in answer to the comedian, Jim u. Anderson, the contents of which would be referred for future coniideration. The whole performance concluded with a side-splitting farce by the little giant of Ala chua county, Dennis, mi recitations were so amminj and highly spiced with jocular ity mat ue audience, wnicn naa previously oeen aimcst tuneitea, were lotn to allow him to leive the stage. He had been told by President Haves that he was one of the few men who this Administration could afford to take care of, and was asked by His Excellency what he (Dennis) wanted, which was so ejtrer and unexpected that it took Donis's breath. But he afterward recovered respiration and responded that he wanted to be an Auditor in the Treasury Department, because bis appointment to a Federal office would be such a recognition as would lave the moral effect to stare off, I .. uvv nvMiti v.a-vuw Lun uruwn u.jiiuh uiroaienea iniait mm nnon Denainir indict ments bastd on alleged offenses against the local laws of Florida. . The President thereupon wrote on the back of his visiting card a note to Secretary Sherman, savins; that he particularly desired the appoiotment of Den- nis to an Aaditorshin or other (rood place. because he was worthy. That didn't ac complish the nuroose. So subseouentlv Mr. Hayes wrote a note to Mr. Sherman stating that he was reliably assured that Mr. Dennis would make a capable Hpeciul Agent, and that V'l especially desire that his claims may have your early consideration."

The President wanted Dennis to have the place, but Secrfltarv Hherman wantAti it for a nni. sonal friend, and as interjected by Ben. sutler Sherman neat, tor he got his man in the. place. Dennis here remarked coollv. though with evident sympathy for the Pres ident, that ho was always satisfied (hat if tne president bad bad any Influence, he (Dennis) would have gotten a good place. He wanted to work, and did not care fur the sinecure at seven dollars a day, which they gave him, in which, as he stated it, he had nothing to do; didn't go often, about once a month, and tiring of loafing about Wash ington, be told McUornnck that if "I am to draw my pay I will not lose the capacity to do so if I go up to Massachusetts to visit my family." The hint was taken. He was granted leave of absence for one month, but tayed away nearly four months, during which time he was pretty independent, did as he pleased and didn't ezpect any pay, but wnen ne returned ne tound ne could get it, so bo took two months' pay. Dennis's de livery was reliBhed and kept the audienoe in t high state of mirth, because his descrio- tions of ups and downs and ins and outs were illustrative of 80 many others known to each person in the room, and also of fla grant violation of civil service rnles.

The draft of a letter has been prepared by Mr. Morriion. of the Potter committee, in answer to Secretary Sherman, requesting to have suopenaed Irom Louisiana one Hundred witnesses expected to give material testimony touching the freedom ot the election and the murder and intimidation of voters in all of East and parts of West Feliciana parishes. Mr. Morrison saya in the course ot his reply Whatever of accusation is made Busiest you in the resolutions of the House of Representatives under which this committee is acting, rests, so far as any testimony ueard shows, upon the statement and 'on mat to innuence Webster and J as. .n-derson in their official acts you mu. . iem verbal promises und wrote a letter to them giving them assurances and promises of reward. If the committee cor rectly understood your statement before, if you denied writing such a letter and making such promises, however material tbe evidence of the witnesses you ask to have summoned may be to the fact of the number of persons killed, threatened, driven from office or otherwise intimidated, as vou assure the committee it is, it can in no way affect you personally. If the committee has correctly understood you to deny tne allegation that you wrote tbe letter and gave these promises and assurances, such allegation will be neither established nor disproved by the evidence of the number of men killed in tbe Feliciana parishes, whether killed because they had stolen the property of others or be-cause others sought to steal their votes. The committee is therefore constrained for the present respectfully to decline compliance with yonr request to have subpenaed aa witnesses the several persons named by you, all of whom have testified once, some of them twice, and others three times on the same subject, and their testimony is preserved and now accessible to all in the records of Congress. SHSRtflK TO POTTEB. Secretary Sherman has addressed to Mr. Potter a reply to the draft of the letter pre pared by Mr. Morrison, in answer to a request of the Secretary to subpena one hundred witnesses. Secretary Sherman says: The resolution under which the committee is acting accuses me of inducing certain election officers of Louisiana to falsify and fraudulently represent and protest the election of November 7, 1876, In East Feliciana and part of WeBt Feliciana as not free and lair, ana tne protest to me contrary iaiseano fraudulent. I ask that witnesses (which the Secretary names) be subpentd and examined at such times and places aB you may order. The Secretary refers to their former testimony to show there were crimes proved of whipping, threats, raids by armed Democrats, killing, burning houses, shooting, in timidation, naDging, driving irom nome, expulsion from office, shooting sheriffs, violence at the noils, property taken away. etc. The Secretary aaaa me lonowing statement, oi which he says the records of Congress authorize him to state ss the combined reBult of the tettimony will be of his witnesses named : 1. The prevalence In the parishes above named, as well as In those adjoining, there for and at the same time oi said election, especially at the time and places of registration ot voters preparatory to said election, of a thoroughly organised and executed system of intimidation of Republican voters by Democrats. This intimidation, enforced by means of daily and nightly raids, by armed bodies of men. unon the persons and proper ty of Republicans, Included in tho30 acts of violence the killing, wonnding and whipping of Republicans, breaking into and burning houses and stores, and otber out rases.. by means of which such a state of terror was inaugurated in these and ad joining parishes that leading Republicans in tuese localities were lorced to leave ineir homes and were prevented from organizing for the campaign, and the rank and file of the party utterly disheartened, a large majority of them forced against their wish either to desist from voting or to vote the Democratic ticket; that this intimidation was carried to such an extent that the large GREAT RUNNING MEETING OF THE LOUISVILLE JOCKEY CLUB, TO BE HELD AT LOUISVILLE, On TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY, JULY 2, 3 and 4, 1878.

Republican majorities which had appeared at every election after the cloBe of the war and prior to tbe election of 1876, were thereby suddonly convertrd into large Democratic majorities, so that in eome of the precincts and in one of the parishes, to-wit : East Feliciana, not a sinule Republican vote was polled. I. I expect or Ibis testimony to show that tbs witnesses of both parties concede the ex istence of this violence and intimidation, though the Democrats say it was, not political in its origin. 3. I expeot br thiB testimony to show and establish the claim that it wss political, directed by Democrats auainst Republicans, as such; that this organised violence was so timed as to precede and cover the time of registration, and to precede the elections, and it ceased sfter the election, and that' the victims of violence and intimidation were always active, leading Republicans, and never Democrats. 4. I expect by this testimony toshow, and will show, as I am authorized to state by the records of Uongress, amongst olbers tbe following list of enormities committed in the following parishes, these for political ends above stated, namely : East Feliciana killed 5, wounded 3, hung 3, whipped 24, shot at4, expelled from office 8, driven from home by threats of violence 5, burned out 2, threats to individual persons .11, In West Feliciana killed 25, wounded 1, hung 3, whipped 7, shot at 7, expelled from office, etc., driven from home 11, by threats of violence 4, threats to individuals 16, burned out 13. Secretary Sherman, in giving the aboye letter for publication, ssyB he refused to give to the preas his offer of testimony, made June 6'h, uutil the committee should act upon it. Alter long delay, without notice to him, a paper is published this morning purporting to be the proposed reply of the committee to his formal request, in which he is denied tbe right to prove the very gist of the whole matter, whether or not there was a free and fair election in East and West Feliciana, and the sub-committee Is now in Louisiana act ing upon this construction. The pretense that he (the Secretary) cannot prove there was not a free and fair election because he denied the writing of the imputed letter is frivolous to the last degree. Whether he wrote a letter or not, the real thing that com mittee wants to know, be says, is whether there was actual fraud and violence in theae two parishes to justify the Returning Board in what they did. If so, that is the end of the inquiry; if not, and if the action in Louisiana was uuiawiui anu improper, tnen it .may become material to ascertain who participated.

The sub-committee met at the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, Saturday.Ex-Governor Packard was called to the stand. In answer to questions the witness Baid: The Returning Board met at the time prescribed by law; was not present at any of the ses sions, open or secret; bad no conversation then nor since with memsers of the Board as to matters under consideration; have no knowledge of their laborB, other than such as wss published; their returnB were the only means of information I had; the returns of the Board gave the State to Hayes and myself; not to my knowledge was any other result reached by them than that published; they declared the result about December 5; I was inaugurated Governor January 8; was in office till the 25th of April; the Hayes Commission arrived early in April: my ma jority as shown by the Returning Board, was somewnac less tnan ine nigneBt nayes Elector, and lower than the majority for the lowest Elector. Witness said the files of the Republican would give all the data required as to the promulgation of returns; from returnB made the witness deemed himself the legally elected Governor of Louisiana; there was no Suestion about that; the returns made by the oard went before the Legislature through the Secretary of State, as required by the Oonstitutiot; the two houses met, canvassed the vote, and declared me elected; that Legislature consisted of a quorum of both bouses that day, sixtyeight members of the House and nineteen members of the Senate being present. In my opinion, my title to the Governor ship of Louisiana is as good as the title of Mr. Hayes to the Presidency. 1 consider them both good, and one is as good as the other. I received a declaration of my election from the Legislature. Mr. Hayes enjoys his title. 1 am aware that I am not acting as the Governor of this State and as I am entitled to be. Mr, HayeB's title rests on the vote of Louisiana. I am entitled to be Governor. The witness said he believed the armed mob was under Governor Nicholls; they were called militia, 1 believe; there was Interference on tbeir part with the courts; don't know whether he had any part in it or not. However, on the 9th of January the Supreme Court room was taken possession of, and during their presence five gentlemen wete installed as a Supreme Court of the State, and they ere to-day the Supreme Court of Louisiana, holding their positions by ;appointment from Governor Nicholls, who assumed, iu making the appointments, that the term of the old Court had expired. The Supreme Court recognized Nicholls, as did the Sheriff, who enforced the authority of that Court. At that time I was under tbe impression that the Harlan-MacVeagh Commission was advising my supporters to join the Nicholls Legislature. I had no means of information of the improper methods used by the Commission in regard to the membership of the Legislature, save by general rumor. I had the Impression that the Commission came here to break up the Packard Legislature. The effect of their presence ia plain to be seen. I have no impression that- Mr. Hayes sent the Commission here for the purpose above named. I cannot judge tbe President's Intentions or wishes, and cannot express an opinion; know of no threats or efforts of intimidation on the part of the Commission to obtain the object of their visit; have no recollection ot having been approached by any member of the Commission requesting that I withdraw from mv office; I do not think my members deserted me be cause ot any beliel in a detect iu my title, but I have no means of knowing the actual cause of the desertion. I received a dispatch from Secretary U. U.Bmnen, dated 11 arch 1, concerning a resolution of President Grant, that he could no longer allow the United States troops to support candidates for State offices. Kecelved a letter from lion. Stan ley Matthews repeating the same assertion, dated Marcs lo. I believe It i bad been ai lowed troops I could have maintained my position. Had tbe President acknowledged my title I have no doubt tbe opposition to me would nave eeasea. Compost for Gardens. In China, vegetable matter of every available kind is collected during the summer, and mixed with peat earth, and GREAT BURNING RACE BETWEEN Trie $10,000! such other refuse as may be at hand. When entirely dry, it Ib fired and allowed to burn slowly until consumed. It is then like finely powdered earth. This material is used solely aB a fertilizer for the seed when planted, and causes extraordinary vigor to the young plants. Although we do not recommend the tireless labor used by the Chinese in their cultivation, for the reason that labor is not cheap enough with us, nevertheless gardeners and florists, and all those who are obltaed to use apeoial fertilizers in till age, may take a lesson here in thus preparing a cheap compost for various uses on the garden and farm. if this asb ba mixed with ordinary compost it will be found to add greatly to Us value. It may also be used mixed with any of the commercial fertilizers, or used by Itself in the drill with seed, or about plants when transplanted. It will oause immediate growth and hold the plant vigorous until the roots can gain foothold. The owner of any suburban home ought not to find it difficult thus to make a two horse wagon- load yearly, and tbe gardener and florist will only be limited in the quantity he makes by that of the material al hand. i JEWISH PROGRESS. ' V Ibe Jews as Bankers, Mnslclans anft-Edltors 's ue slew Jerusalem on the . Danube. - t ,.i "; Philadelphia Press. ' In finance the Jews have from time im memorial been distinguished for their sue i. lhe greBteBt fortune of modern times is that accumulated by the Kotche- cbilds. They are friends alike of monarchies and republics, and they are the baukein of the pope as well as his adver saries. .Little more than a century old, this family of bankers have attained such influence by their wealth that they may be said to rule the fortunes of the leading continental states. They supply the means that set armies in the field, Without their aid it would be difficult to carry on offensive or defensive war. Their wonderful success is due not to any striking qualities ol intellect, bnt to good judgment, to economical habits, to the preservation of their capital by intermarriages among themselves, and to a peculiar genius for mon- political honors, though they have not refused those that have been proffered them in England. For services rendered in critical timeB, when continental sov-erigne have been in distress for money, they have been knighted and decorated. They give generously of their moans to public charities of all kinds, and they are the firat to come to the relief of the communities which have suffered great loeaes by fire, pestilence, war and earthquakes. Personally they are unostentatious in their manners, though they live in an elegant splendor consonant with their Vealth. With the rise of the Kotchschilds, other rieh Jewish bankers have appeared in the European capitals. They have founded synsgogues, colleges and hospitals, and have powerfully contributed to the rehabilitation of the Hebrew race, and to its emancipation from the legal and political disabilities under which it has suffered for so many centuries, we may almost jsay from the fall of the Roman empire. At this time, the Jews are one of the most enterprising and cultured races. Although the lower classes in some countries are poor and degraded, it ia more beoauae of hostile legislation and popular prejudices than from any innate defects. Wherever the Jews enjoy political equality, it is astonishing to see with what rapidity they rise to a better state, and how they come into the foreground. In music, some of the most celebrated composers of Germany sre Jews, In the drama, literature and science, in the comparatively short period of their emancipation, they have done wonders. A too rigid adherence to the traditions of the paBt retards a progress that otherwise would be yet more striking. Of late years Jewish journalists in London, Paris, Vienna and elsewhere have formed and directed public opinion, while a born Jew now guides the destinies of England, The flexibility of the Jewish mind is remarkable, It seems to adapt itself to every calling and profession, vindicating, to a degree, the ancient claim of the Hebrew race to extraordinary intellectual gifts, and to superiority. "There is," says the New York Times, "no city in all Europe, or, indeed, in Asia or America, which contains so many and bo influential Jews as Vienna. They are said to number not far from 200,000, and they hold many of the most important places in the community. In commerce they are very powerful, the trade of the oapi-tal being largely in their hands. Many of the leading firms are Jewish, and the banking business ib almost entirely controlled by Jews. The preBS is for the most part written, managed, and directed by Jews; many of the musicians (Vienna is nothing if not musical) are Jews; the restaurants and inns are kept by Jews; the richest men are Jews, and the prettiest women are Jewesses. Go where you will to the Ringstrassee,'the opera, the theater, the Volkegarten, the Prater, the Belvedere, Schonbrunn,the beer gardens, the picture galleries, the treasury, up the tower of St. Stephen's, the arsenal, you will surely find Jews; and, as a rule, they are very intelligent, polite and pleasant. Talk of the New Jerusalem, it has already been discovered, founded and enjoyed on the banks of the Danube. Vienna is one of the finest and most delightful capitals in the world, and owes much of what it is and what it yields to pleasure and prosperity, to its large Hebrew element." When the Jews shall enjoy tbe same liberty in the East that they do in England and the United States, they will li-e to a better order of existence and will promote its prcsperity and regeneration by their industry and enterprise. Unfortunately, however, there are religious and political feuds in the East thousands of years old that must first be obliterated before this can take place. The Fashions tow Children.

It H.O'KANE.Sec'y. OLD NEWSPAPERS FOR r3a.XjZn AT THIS OFFICE mas, naturally a taste for artistio and harmonious blending is unconsciously encouraged. Already little women are fastidiouB about the matching of their sashes and hat trimmings,even to a shade, with which mothers should not quarrel, for it is an evidence of an educated taste, developing gradually into things of great--ter import. The dainty princesse dress for little ones up to twelve years takes on the semblance of a cut-away jacket, the jacket fronts only being added, while the back remains plain. TheBe are made up of fine seaside wool bunting, and of the plain French bunting, which is very much stronger. Modistes recommend this bunting very highly, but to prevent shrinking, it muat be dampened and pressed before it is cut. The greater number of these dresses are made with a kilt plaiting eet in the back, while the front is plain princesse, trimmed with bands of embroidered stuff or Bilk, This style simply requires a yoke instead of a jacket. Another has the entire front overlaid with plait-ings and plastrons of silk, and shell plait-ings on the bottom edge. Gray and all' shades of brown debege, flannel and wool bourette are made up for traveling and school costumes for older girls in the favorite cutaway jacket and kilt skirt. The trimming is simply many rows of worsted braid, but there are others trimmed more fancifully with silk bias bands or wide, handsome braids, The pretty percale, Scotch gingham, fine zephyr cloths and lawn dresses are mostly made with square-yoked, plaited basque and a wide turn-over collar, The overskirt has a plain apron front, and the underskirt is finished with a plaited flounce. Simulated overskirts are more suitable for washing fabrics. A great deal of Hamburg edging is used upon these dresses, all white,or else the new kind, with colored scollops and flowers embroidered on the white. Pique is not so fashionable for the little people as the dainty colored suits, and these lovely colors also find their way into the wardrobes of the very little ones, who have hitherto been confined to white. Such fabrics bb the fine lephyrs are made up, just like the white slips, plaited and bordered with Hamburg, and box-plaited from the throat down both front and back. Stockings are still worn high and secured with a slocking suspender, The colors correspond with the sash, bows, ribbonB and general ornamentation, The coats and Ulsters for street wear are long and of the pardessns shape, with quaint little double and triple collars and capes. Babies' imported robes are only one yard long, and their caps of the latest fashion are silk net, lined with silk matching the net, of strawberry-red, blue or pink. There are no other changes chronicled for babies' wardrobes,
